The Metropolitan Community Church of New Haven (also known as MCC New Haven and MCCNH) is an open and affirming Christian Church with a special ministry to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered persons, their families and friends.
We celebrate God's unconditional love for all people at our Sunday morning worship service. Please join us at 10:00 a.m. for worship including Easter Sunday. Our services take place in the Parish House of United Church on the Green, located at 323 Temple Street in New Haven. You can read Rev. Brians weekly sermons on this blog.
We are very excited to announce that Rev. Brian Hutchison was installed as Interim Pastor on Sunday Feb 24 with Rev. Elder Darlene Garner officiating.

Prior to ordination, he completed a clergy internship at MCC San Francisco. He also completed a Clinical Pastoral Education internship at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, CA. Brian holds his Master of Divinity degree from Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA, his Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland (College Park), and a Certificate in LGBT Studies from the same.

The members of our congregation, our friends, families and visitors, come from a wide range of backgrounds of the Christian faith as well as other faiths and traditions.
